The Siberian Times reported that scientists recently discovered a woman's mummy buried in the snowpack in the Arctic and covered with thick fur. A special feature of this mummy is that the hair and eyelashes remain intact.

Through research, archaeologists have identified the mummy is nearly 1000 years old and her face still holds a rare feature, enough to haunt many people.

The eyelids and teeth, as well as the hair, remain intact.

It is known that this woman is a princess, died at 35 years old and buried with nearly 30 other men around. Archaeological details about this mummy really amaze the experts, when the eyelids and teeth and the hair remains intact.

The green part on the face is "infected" by debris from the copper kettle - the item is supposed to protect her when she goes to the afterlife.

Further research, experts say, she is a member of a medieval civilization of hunting and fishing.

The mummy was discovered at the Zeleny Yar burial site near Salekhard, Russia.

Archaeologists are quite puzzled when it is impossible to explain why she was buried here - when they previously thought it was a burial site for men. The hypothesis was that she was an elite member of this society at the time (and possibly the only female individual).

If the first part is well preserved, her body is damaged - they seem to have been completely destroyed.

Archaeologist Alexander Gusev, of the Russian Arctic Research Center, said: "We have determined that this mummy is a woman. But this completely changed our notion of this graveyard.

Previously we thought that this place only men and boys, but now we find a woman. That's great .

The internal organs of the mummy are intact.

In addition, experts also discovered more mummies of a few nearby children but perhaps they and the woman were not related to each other.

Russian and Korean experts are excited to discover this mummy and hope to recreate the entire face of the woman.

Professor Dong-Hoon Shin of Seoul National University said: "There are two types of mummies in the world - artificial and natural".

Great example of mummies of artificial origin is in Egypt. Natural mummies are buried in certain conditions of environment, climate such as permafrost, desert .

Preserved at a high level, the mummy's internal organs are intact, and this brings many interesting things to the study.
